anything with ammonia works, but pee is usually readily available. Windex also works good, but is not usually found on the beach.
For scorpion bites, soaking the bite area in extremely hot water for a 30 min kills the venom. this also works good for Stingray stings.
I have used all the above remedies for the above bites/stings and they all work. I drew the line at having my friends pee on me, as I had a suffienct
supply of my own and it is immediate relief.

I dont need a cup, can reach everywhere 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Scorpion sting do not a heat liable toxin.. so soaking the area in hot water will have NO effect for a scorpion sting.
If your allergic to bees, then there is a very good chance you may have a reaction to scorpions.. best advice is if in doubt carry a bee sting kit..
epinephrine or a epi pen is the enmergency treatment for a severe anaphylatic reaction. For miler reactions chewable benadryl 25 mg x 3 will work.
A sting eze pen (contains topical lidocaine) also is of benefit.
As is a lotion called bikini cream... this is used for chicks that shave they're bikini line..contains 2% topical lidocaine.
Isopropyl alchol swapped on the area or ice on 10 min's off 5. Can also provide relief for the normal scorpion or bee/wasp sting.
HOT water is indicated for Sculpin/sting rays or rock fish stings.
You do not have enough Ammonia or uric acid in your urine to counteract the nemocyst of the jellyfish, a mixture of alcohol/ammonia sprayed on the
site can help. Do not use fresh water on a jellyfish, to remove the jelly... gently rub wet sand from the beach and rinse in the salt water.. then use
ammonia or isopropyl alcohol ... followed by hydrocorticone cream as needed..
These are Not all inclusive instructions.. if ya have questions
no problem
With any wound that penatrates the skin, infection is always something to watch for.

I was surfing in Miami back in the mid 60's and a Manowar jellyfish washed up on my surfboard and wrapped itself around my groin area! Wow, you cannot
belive the pain I had. It was just a bad scene man! Very bad. I was screaming at the top of my lungs. I was 16 years old at the time!"
As an analyst I could comment, but will refrain this time, just this once Bob!

Please elaborate!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.
